The video is shaky and unclear. But here it is.
I was not content with the lid for the stovage. I am now working on a third version. Lid 8 cm wide 5 mm thick made of Tufnol fastened with two M6 countersunk screws.
To see how strong it was I took a 5 cm str...
The new idea for the locker idea turned out to be good, but more development will make it even better. I therefore started with a new mock up.
Mock up are a good teacher and mock up teaches me much.
I like to reduce the play a bit. I will also make the lid...
Last might in those magical times between wakefulness and sleep I got a new idea for the lids to the lockers. The previus idea made use of 4 strings for each lid. 2 permanent for hinges and 2 to open and closeThe went up on the inside. Still I like to make...
I have now plotted the measurment from the mold to the Divinycell and covered both sides with one layer of 450 gram 45°X45° glass fibre

A double ender is smaller than a transom boat for the same lenght.
There is not so much space on the aft deck.
On the other hand a double ender have a longer waterline than a transom boat for the same lenght.
A double ender can better take waves from behin...
The aft bulkhead is now in place. It is a good place and it is comfortable to pass through the opening. The bench in the dining room is 60 cm wide 5 cm more than Exlex 2020 at that was 55 cm wide. This makes it more easy to swing around, mowing my legs 180...
Yesterday was boringly slow. Now I hope to make more clear. The lid is tested. When I filled with fluid water it dripped. I was sad but soon I found the culprit I was the handle. Somehow it seeped through there. I was happy again.
I wound some 6 mm polyest...
Borka the ishockey player helped me to do film today. He was better at isheckey. In the film I work very very slow. Luckily I am faster in real.
I shown textile handle and a few other things. I may do more tomorrow but then there will be no one there to fi...
In sandwich constructions it is important to have spacers at point loads. The eye bolts create point loads. That load have to be spread out over a larger area. With the help of backing plates and spacers that is done.
Spacers can also be made by remowing ...
On the side of the bed there is storage. But below the bed there is 20 cm storage for water on the side of the bed there is side lockers about 40 cm over the mattras the are 7 cm thick. So the bottom of the side storage is 67 cm below. A 67 cm deep locker ...
Here is the mattras. Now when I see it in place it seams much to big. But it is a balance. Alone at sea it can be less. Exlex 2020 had 70 cm wide and 185 cm long. In port it is nice to have more space.
Bris bunk was 110 cm wide.
Aluminum Bris 120 cm wide

Today I again try to explain why I do not make the bulkhead hatches so they can close from the inside. It is a complication, I like to keep things simple. Some people say that will be good if the hull gets penetrated. But in my world the hull of Exlex will...
Today I have mainly been slowly working to get the rim of the hatch even. I have measured and decided to cut 10 mm of. Then I scribed it and cut it with my jigsaw using a carbon abrasive blad. Important is if you err, err outwards otherwise there will be a...
The new maskin is a kind of disk sander. The first one I bought about 30 years ago at a time when my economy was much better when I still gained money from talks and books. I was in Värnamo to buy a bandsaw from EJCA.
The salesman suggested I also buy a d...
Today 3 girls from the Filmschol in Gamleby have been here to interviuw me. I took the opportunity to ask them to film this video. They also tried to teach me a bit about imovie. I am rather thick headed so it will take some time. They live not far away an...
Lucky again. The cover fits very nicely over the coaming. Also about my idea of gasket. Gaskets deteriorate over time. By definition a cruising boat is meant to be away from ship yards often in a desolate location. There it is not easy to change a gasket. ...
By laminating the inside I have now connected the inside and the outside laminate having the Divinycell core in the middle this creates a strong rigid and light hatch.

Today I have laminated the rim of the door on the aft bulkhead. It consist of 4 layers 600 gram carbon about 10 meter along the perifirique. It went well but took a long time.
For more information on my project see Yrvind.com. There you can also donate on ...
Doing hatches one have to consider the size of the person passing through. That I my weight will not ballon out of control I have come up with the
YRVINDS CONSTANT WEIGHT DIET
The word diet comes from old French, from Latin diaeta, way of living, diet, fr...
I have injected epoxy to the edges for the bulkheads since 2009 I think. I have experimented with different methods refining my technique. This way is the best so far. There is a short time window to do it before the epoxy sets. To speed it up I mixed and ...
Everything went fine but there was a bit of panik when the epoxy started to overflow. I should have known better. This is what I learnt. The outgoing hose should end higher up than the ingoing. A child could have figured that out. now I know for the next b...
The epoxy will add about 16 000 kilo strenght. Every square centimeter of Divinycell have a tension strenght of 22 kilos, the bulkhead is 3 cm thick the periferic is about 200- 300 cm.
Mulitply it gives aboaut 16 000 kilos.
That makes it worth injecting e...
Foreward bulkhead in place. I have started the filliting and reenforced it with carbon fibre. The lead pieces and clamps are still in place preventing me to do it all around. Without the support it may not stay in place.
For more information on my boats an...
Everything went very well. The hatch was 100 % waterproof. Not one drop af water even after several hours. This was the forward bulkhead hatch. Now I hope that the other ones will be as fine.
